When Shih En (Tien Ching) helps to ensure that he is spared the baton punishment inflicted on all of the new prisoners, Wu Sung (Ti Lung) vows to help him get his restaurant back from Chiang Chung (Chu Mu), who has taken control of the business with the backing of the military and Meng officials. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
